SO ABOVE SO BELOW - Gnosis [2013]

So Above So Below is a musical outflow that is unbroken and yet is made of infinite patterns. A sound that’s so comforting and yet each time you listen, its a different experience. Where the smallest of matter is engaged into rhythmic motion. A sound where words lose meaning and thought becomes one. Where sound can have so much emotion. Where a single instrument becomes a symphony. Where a sound can drown you. Where the sound can capture an entire moment and yet may fade into nothing. Something that is living, but which also embraces end of existence. Of countless things in a single moment. Of every moment in a single thing.

MOOTH - Slow sun [2013]

Born in 2006 as Koan, Mooth is an Italian noise rock band that plays and composes their own songs. Their proposal is a mix of sludge and hardcore, with darker and heavier influences along the lines of the new math-rock, with self-critical and very personal lyrics: the result is a unique blend of sound, hard to imitate, preventing to place the band in one of the many “standard” strands of noise-rock.

The speed of the songs, the lack of solos, the strong punk reminiscences and a rough and directed approach during production and recording, scar these guys as “old-school” and bring to mind bands like Jesus Lizard, Uzeda Melvins and Kyuss.

The continuous "stop'n'go" & changes in rhythm give the tracks a connotation in between serious and humorous: an ironic approach, a cynical commentary on our times characterized by the mash-up of contradictory informations. The proof is the fact that Mooth are at ease on stage with bands of various kinds, from alternative-rock to metal, either in small clubs, social clubs and festivals. And their live sets are explosive!
